This is just an information, but might be somehow useful.
Had an exchange, after a report I made, with the Akismet Engineering Lead.

Some (but not all) webmentions were flagged as spam, and probably some were even deleted when the “Silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam so I never see it.” option was on.
[I use Bridgy to syndicate with Mastodon.]

Here's the answer I received:
"I've made some changes on our end so that less of those replies get caught as spam.
That said, you might still face some issues from time to time, as fediverse actions are new, and come to Akismet in many different variations that often do wind up looking like spam.
Let us know how things progress. And please do mark what gets mistakenly caught as false positives (if you can), as it makes it easier for Akismet to auto-adapt on the fly."
